This is the toilet shot from the farm, i can only assume that the previous owner must have been disabled, by the crutch leant against it, and in the shower was a disabled seat. Strange how the toilet has been removed from the wall where it once sat, there is a great big crack around the bowl, the pikeys have been in for all the pipework, only water pipes as there was no central heating in this place.
Disabilities are limitations in activity or functioning that are attributable to permanent medical conditions in physical, mental, emotional, or sensory domains. Raise awareness in society about persons with disabilities, their rights, their needs, humor, their potential and their contribution and promote disability awareness and human rights of disabled people. / Bed luck with the wheels.
The writing is on the wall – if you can see it, you can’t read it. I passed this sculpture so many times. You have to. It is made of stainless steel and placed in one of the busiest Wellington streets, in the perfect position to capture the colorful lights of the city after daylight, the nightglow of the capital. The ‘Invisible City’, as it’s called, is the gigantic panel of Braille text that highlights the communication gap between those who can’t see and the rest of us. The post is designed to remember all the folks, my countrymen and yours, the often invisible part of society, all those who finish schools, who work, play music, do sports, pay taxes, have and raise children, to the benefit of us all.

Entry in the Depression challenge for the Stillness Speaks group. Depression robs a person of their soul. And turns them into someone even they don’t recognize. It exaggerates faults and hides all qualities, tucking them into the far recesses of the mind. Depression is darkness. It is a condition that repels light even though it is the light that will help make the transition back to reality. Every thought becomes an affliction. Hope does not find a home here. And each day can become a living hell for the person going through it. An individual moves about the world in a zombie state, not quite connecting with anything or anyone. Despite the media attention in the last couple of years, depression is still misunderstood, feared and has a definite stigma associated with it, as it belongs to the terrifying category of mental illness. / “Approximately 8% of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives. ” Canadian Mental Health Association / “Major depression, is the world’s leading single cause of disability in 2000 according to / a World Health Organisation report,and is projected to become the foremost / contributor to the disease burden in high income countries by 2030.2” Scott Patten and Heather Juby, A Profile of Clinical Depression in Canada 2008 / “Depression becomes an illness, when feelings of failure, worthlessness, self-blame, sadness, disappointment, and emptiness are severe, last for several weeks, and begin to interfere with one’s work and social life” Canadian Mental Health Association Featured in the Image/Writing group November 2008
A t-shirt especially designed for those with invisible disabilities or ill-health, who can find it difficult to be taken seriously because they don’t use a wheelchair or walking stick or have anything visibly ‘wrong’ with them. It is also a funny t-shirt for someone with a more ‘obvious’ or visible disability to wear, just to be subversive!
For anyone who doesn’t follow the rules! Anarchists, disabled people, psychiatric patients, protestors… promote civil disobedience if you dare! If you want to break free, get non-compliant! And rubber stamp it across your chest with this t-shirt.
Normal people scare me! Perfect for anyone who doesn’t fit the norms. Works well on dark and light backgrounds.

There were a lot of seagulls on the beach this morning and as the others flew about, landed and flew about some more, these two one-legged seagulls stayed close by each other’s side, quite content to stay put …a bond of looking out for each other…a bond of love. / / /
I don’t think I could ever be as calm…

I am not crazy about how much weight I have gained… and how out of shape I am from breaking my foot. This was one of the last places I explored in my state before I broke my foot and I explored it on my birthday, in a wheelchair while my foot was in a cast. This place was a training school for mentally retarded children. The history of this place is so rich and I have a particular connection to it since I found out there was a deaf resident here (I am a Sign Language Interpreting major) Many deaf people were placed in these schools and basically abandoned by their parents and many times they were NOT mentally retarded at all. People were (and still are…) so ignorant to learning or understanding sign language and deafness these people REALLY did slip through the cracks and were forced to live with people who were either insane or mentally retarded. I could have chosen a more flattering pose but my foot is still fractured so checking on each photo was not an option. I was also not doing it for beauty. I am not a model, I am not interested in being a model, I am strictly a photographer! It serves as a reminder of where I’ve been…..as well as those who resided at this school who did not have a voice. Taken with my Pentax K100D Super, Self timer but with my friend telling me if it “looks good” or not before I carefully made my way back to the camera!
